M3 - globular cluster

This is my first DSO (deep sky object) - M3, a globular cluster comprising 500,000 stars. M3 is approximately 30,000 light years from earth and is thought to be 8 billion years old. The picture consists of 10 separate shots, all 15 second exposures at ISO 1600 - stacked using Deep Sky Stacker.
